TL;DR: DIA and human interleukin DA/leukaemia inhibitory factor have been identified as related multifunctional regulatory factors with distinct biological activities in both early embryonic and haemopoetic stem cell systems.

TL;DR: The recorded present-day global distribution of falciparum malaria was used to establish the current multivariate climatic constraints, and these results were applied to future climate scenarios to predict future distributions, which showed remarkably few changes, even under the most extreme scenarios.

TL;DR: This work suggests that this spread has been driven by recent changes in European climate that have allowed increased virus persistence during winter, the northward expansion of Culicoides imicola, the main bluetongue virus vector, and, beyond this vector's range, transmission by indigenous European Culicoide species — thereby expanding the risk of transmission over larger geographical regions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the influence of range size on the sample size and sampling prevalence of data used to train and test distribution models for 32 bird species endemic to South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland.

TL;DR: Temperature, rainfall, vapour pressure and the number of months suitable for P. falciparum transmission have not changed significantly during the past century or during the period of reported malaria resurgence, suggesting claimed associations between local malaria resurgences and regional changes in climate are overly simplistic.
